300 Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse on new 



Lycaneptia antiqua, n. sp. 



Nigra ; capite fulvo, macula pone oculos nigra ; thorace fulvo, late- 

 ribus vittis duabus fuscis ; eljtris fulvis, ante medium plus minusve 

 infuscatis, apice late cyaneo-nigro. 



Long. 9 lin., lat. elytr. 5 lin. 



Third joint of the antennas a little more than twice as long 

 as the first, thick and densely fringed ; the fourth joint the 

 same length as the first, thick and densely fringed ; the fol- 

 lowing seven joints together scarcely longer than the first and 

 second together. Head with a fine impressed line on the 

 vertex. Thorax a little narrowed anteriorly, subcylindrical, 

 the pubescence forming a fine mesial ridge, on each side of 

 which, at the base, there is a dusky spot ; at the sides there 

 are two blackish stripes, almost confluent. Elytra with pro- 

 minent rectangular shoulders ; the expansion is at first gradual, 

 but more rapid towards the apex, much rounded externally, 

 the sutural angle rounded ; the basal two thirds are fulvous 

 yellow, with dusky brown in the intervals, leaving a narrow 

 fulvous band before the apical third, which is nearly black ; 

 each elytron has two very fine, partially incomplete dorsal 

 costse ; the humeral costa is very strong and complete ; and 

 there is a very strong complete costa on the lateral expansion. 

 The coxas and the extreme base of the femora are yellow. 



Hab. Brazil. 



Nearly allied to L. togata, Klug, but rather differently 

 coloured and with the seven apical joints of the antennas 

 together not equalling a quarter of the total length of the 

 antennas. 



Themistonoe reticulata^ n. sp. 



Nigra ; thorace dorsaliter fulvo-flavo, linea mediana nigra ; elytris 

 postice bene ampliatis, fulvo-rlavis, ad apicem late purpureo- 

 nigris, reticulatis, singulis costis tribus. 



Long. 71 lin., lat. elytr. 4^ lin. 



Antennas finely pilose, the third joint thickened (especially 

 at the apex), with more dense pilosity at the apex. The 

 upper part of the forehead and a line behind each eye are 

 obscurely tinted with dirty yellow ; there is a fine impressed 

 line on the vertex. The thorax is a little broader than long, 

 a very little narrower in front than behind, very slightly con- 

 stricted before and behind the middle ; rusty yellow above, 

 with a mesial black stripe, and a dusky spot on each side of 

 it. Elytra at the base one quarter broader than the thorax, 

 widened immediately below the shoulders, gradually becoming
